“No. I’ll contact the law firm first thing Monday morning.”
“Or we can drive there today, find a hotel and stay until Monday, drive back Tuesday. It would keep things on the quiet here for a bit longer,” I suggest.
What I don’t say is while he’s driving, I’ll be running down information on Lisa Kincade.

Once we made the decision to head to Atlanta, it didn’t take us long to get on the road.
With six pairs of hands, packing for a newborn and two adults was a snap. And while leaving the safety of my house gave me pause, I saw the advantage of meeting with the lawyers Lisa used face to face.
We could have cut hours off the journey by flying but I didn’t want to bring attention to the baby in our care. Driving might take us half a day or more, but with Vail and Quade coordinating our trip from Love Beach, our arrival in Atlanta will be smooth no matter what time we get there.
Glancing at the dashboard I notice we need to stop for gas sooner than later. I’m sure, like me, Vivi would welcome a break too. Hours in a car, no matter how luxurious my Range Rover is, aren’t comfortable for anyone.
Well, except the baby sleeping soundly in the back.
He was due for a bottle half an hour ago but he slept right through so I kept driving. It must be the vibration of the car keeping him asleep.
I have to admit, I’m surprised by how easy he is to look after, both last night and today, but I’m not about to push our luck; he’s bound to get hungry soon.
“We’ll stop at the next gas station,” I tell Vivi.
“Okay.”
She’s been quiet for most of the drive. I know she’s doing things on her laptop I probably won’t be happy about, although before we left, Vail made sure to put my mind at ease by telling me she has multiple systems in place to keep any deep digging she does under wraps.
My thoughts might have been occupied before, but now all I can think about is whether she’s putting herself at risk to help me.
“What are you doing?”
“Searching social media for anything and everything I can find on Jenny and Lisa Kincade.”
A sigh of relief rushes from my chest. “Legal searching.”
The last thing I want is for Vivi to get herself into trouble with the authorities. In spite of Vail’s promise she knows what she’s doing and he’s got her covered, I’m wary of her digging up information on Lisa.
“Don’t worry, it’s all legal. Nothing the general public can’t find.”
“What have you found so far?”
“The father. I think.”
“Oh.” In all of this I haven’t once thought about the man who fathered the baby Lisa put in my care. “Is he going to be a problem?”
“I don’t think so. But if he works out who Lisa has given the baby to, maybe.”
“Any red flags? Alcohol? Drugs?”
“No. Just a poor college student with mounting debt.”
“So I could pay him if he proves a hurdle?”
“I’d say so. From his social feed he looks like a frat boy.” She hums as her fingers click and scroll. “I’m looking at his parents now.”
“Why?”
“Because they might be unaware he’s given them a grandchild and could be another hurdle if they find out.”
